Mum about directorial duties, Pooja Bhatt says Sadak 2 with Sanjay Dutt, Alia Bhatt in the works

Pooja Bhatt and Sanjay Dutt

After months of speculations, it was revealed late last year that Mahesh Bhatt was indeed planning a sequel to Sadak (1991) with Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt reprising their roles. There was also talk about Alia Bhatt joining the duo. Now, we hear, the script has been finalised and the film will roll early next year in all likelihood.

A trade source says that while the makers were keen on shooting the sequel this year, it had to be pushed due to Alia’s chock-a-block date diary. The source also hints that though Dutt has loved the script, he hasn’t signed on the dotted line yet. “Sadak 2 has been written for Sanjay Dutt keeping his earlier character, Ravi, in mind. While Sanju is looking forward to working with Pooja and Bhatt saab again, his remuneration is still under consideration. Once that is finalised, they will announce the film.”

Alia Bhatt

While buzz suggests that Pooja is all set to helm the sequel, the next few weeks will see the Bhatts taking a call on the matter. “Though Mohit Suri is in contention, Bhatt saab is keen that Pooja direct the film. It will be interesting to see her act in, and direct the movie as well.”

When mid-day reached out to Pooja Bhatt, she was tight-lipped about the possibility of directing Sadak 2: “I can’t say it’s true neither can I say it’s untrue. All I can say right now is that we roll in February, 2019, and it will be a start-to-finish schedule,” she said.

Director Ayan Mukerji’s last-minute decision to shoot the scene on a busy thoroughfare meant producer Karan Johar had to procure additional permissions. The scene requires a three-kilometre stretch in a suburb to be cordoned off. The authorities also have to divert traffic to avoid jams.

The upcoming fantasy adventure trilogy titled “Brahmastra” is directed by Ayan Mukerji. It also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Ranbir Kapoor. This will be the first time that Amitabh, Ranbir and Alia will be joining hands for a project. The trilogy’s first part will release on Independence Day, August 15, 2019.

After unveiling the first poster from Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt’s upcoming Zoya Akhtar film, ‘Gully Boy‘, both the actors are bonding big time over fitness. Ranveer and Alia both took to their social media accounts to share a picture of the duo working out together. However, what is unusual is their mane. While, Ranveer, who has lifted dumbbells, has sported long hair with a headband, Alia was seen flaunting her pig-tails while striking a perfect yoga pose.

Ranveer shared the picture and termed Alia Bhatt as his gym partner. “Partner Goals #mondaymotivation @aliaa08 (sic).”

On the other hand, ‘Raazi’ actress captioned the picture as, “Yaaaaaas.. Monday motivation (sic).”

‘Gully Boy’ stars Ranveer Singh playing the rapper. Farhan Akhtar is penning dialogues for sister Zoya’s Gully Boy. This will be Ranveer’s second film with Zoya after Dil Dhadkne Do. The film is inspired by Mumbai rappers Naezy and Divine, who belonged to a Kurla slum before they shot to fame.

Earlier, Ranveer had even uploaded a video of himself rapping the title track of the film. However, he later deleted the video from his Instagram account. Ranveer has been prepping with Divine to learn the nuances of rapping. Divine earlier told mid-day that while work on the film had commenced during the filming of Padmavati, it has garnered pace only now. “Ranveer genuinely loves hip-hop [music]. Currently, we are listening to music and jamming together,” he says.

Alia Bhatt voted fastest growing female star, reveals her success mantra

Celebrities

Topping list of fastest growing stars in Bollywood, Alia Bhatt credits her offbeat movie choices for audiences’ love; Taapsee Pannu comes second

Alia Bhatt

From selecting movies that steer clear of the run-of-the-mill to making their voice heard on social media, Alia Bhatt, Anushka Sharma and Taapsee Pannu are writing their own rules in an industry that is believed to be a tough place, more so for women. Not surprising then that the trio emerged the ‘fastest growing female stars’ in an annual research conducted by Ormax, a company acknowledged as pioneers of film research in India. The study saw a star’s ascent being determined on the basis of three parameters – their films released last year, their upcoming slate of projects and their growth on social media.

Taapsee Pannu

Thrilled about topping the list, Bhatt says that her passion for films is what prompts her to explore complex characters on screen. “My characters are what I will leave behind in life. My goal is to make memorable movies and create unforgettable characters,” she says.

Anushka Sharma

Point out how her popularity on the Internet too plays a role in her bagging the top spot and she says that when it comes to her social media accounts, she is “just a regular girl having fun”. “I am more active on Instagram and it is filled with pictures of my cat. I give them [her followers] a glimpse of my life. But I also try to make sure that if I am saying things, it should serve some purpose. I want to have a distinct voice of my own.”

Pannu ranks second on the list courtesy a commercial success in Judwaa 2 last year. Her ‘call a spade a spade’ attitude too resonates with her fans. Stating that such acceptance from the audience gives a boost to an outsider like her, she says, “[It’s encouraging] for someone like me who did not know anyone in the film industry, had no multi-film deals with studios or any godfather to fall back on. Wherever I am today is because of my audience and that’s what pushes me to do better.”

Even before rumours of her liking for ‘Brahmastra’ co-star Ranbir Kapoor manage to gather steam, it appears that Alia Bhatt has found love elsewhere.

Alia Bhatt

Even before rumours of her liking for ‘Brahmastra’ co-star Ranbir Kapoor manage to gather steam, it appears that Alia Bhatt has found love elsewhere. Hike Messenger founder Kavin Mittal, son of billionaire entrepreneur Sunil Mittal, is speculated to have caught her attention. Mittal and Bhatt first met at the World Economic Forum held in October 2017.

Kavin Mittal

The brightest minds in their respective businesses, the duo was summoned to address the crowd, and eventually grew a liking for one another. Sources close to the actor say Mittal is the first person she turns to for help. “They want to take time to let their friendship evolve. Given their commitments, they see little of each other. But it’s certainly a friendship that can go a long way.” The source adds that the duo hasn’t been spotted together since “they don’t want to make a public statement yet”.

Busy with Brahmastra and Gully Boy, Alia Bhatt defers Mahesh Bhatt's Sadak 2

Celebrities

Jan 022018

Alia Bhatt, who is busy filming for Ranbir Kapoor’s Brahmastra and Ranveer Singh’s Gully Boy, might delay Mahesh Bhatt’s Sadak 2

Alia Bhatt has been roped in for the sequel of father Mahesh Bhatt’s 1991 directorial venture, Sadak. While the film was expected to hit screens in August, it looks unlikely, thanks to Alia’s packed schedule. The actor, who recently wrapped up Meghna Gulzar’s Raazi, reportedly left for Israel with Ranbir Kapoor and Ayan Mukerji, her Brahmastra co-star and director respectively.

Alia Bhatt

The superhero film will be shot in three parts. After wrapping up the project’s first schedule, Alia will start shooting for Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy, starring Ranveer Singh. A source tells mid-day that Sadak 2, which pairs Alia with rumoured beau Sidharth Malhotra, has suffered because of her other projects. “Alia is juggling Brahmastra and Gully Boy. While the former releases in 2019, the latter is scheduled to hit screens later this year. Alia will also be busy promoting Raazi for a couple of months, as it releases in May. So, Sadak 2 has been postponed. It will roll by the end of 2018.”

Mahesh Bhatt

The sequel will take off from Sadak lead actor, Sanjay Dutt’s character taking a leap of 26 years. When mid-day reached out to Alia, she refused to comment on the project. “Whenever I’ll work in my father’s production, the news will be out there for everyone to know. As of now, I can’t reveal anything.”
